One problem is the people telling us to just “follow the science” rarely seem to understand the interaction between things science can and has resolved and the unknowns and trade-offs that cannot be resolved by appeals to “The Science.” They’re often using science as a talisman.https://twitter.com/jflier/status/1345417443909500931 …

Yes, but that's a very long phrase. But yes: "follow the well-considered evidence subject to scientific understanding," is more like it.

It’s a tough! I think we just have to be out there with the process and the challenge rather than just invoking science as a talisman. Anyway, it doesn’t work. There’s both genuine scientific disagreement and charlatans with credentials. (And the latter claim they’re the former!)
